Independent Living For Adults With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

The seeds for J-HAP were planted when a group of parents of young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities gathered to share their mutual concern. They wanted to ensure that their child’s future would include independent, safe and secure housing, and an abundance of social, educational, recreational, and cultural opportunities. The concept began to take shape and extensive research demonstrated the need.

J-HAP was incorporated in 2010.

Several years of intense planning and fundraising resulted in the development of Cornerstone Creek, a state-of-the art affordable apartment building in Golden Valley, Minnesota.
